Hope Forged

The Gifting Series #11

Stranded, limping, and running out of time, Ziamee will do anything to find her missing father—even trap the dangerous male who lands on her planet. Trust's a luxury she can't afford…no matter how her body reacts to him.

Illan crossed the galaxy chasing a Durn distress beacon, expecting an empty world. Instead, he finds a wounded female who ignites something savage and unstoppable inside him. The pull is instant, violent, and unexpected.

She doesn't believe his intentions.

He doesn't trust his control.

He offers her a bargain: help find her father, heal her leg, and the weapons to survive—if she comes with him. Forced together on an unexplored planet, their instincts collide, resistance frays, and the bond neither of them wants begins to tighten.

But the beacon holds secrets tied to Ziamee's past, Illan's ruined homeworld, and a truth that will change everything.

Because Ziamee isn't just the female he found.

She's his truemate.

And once he claims her, there may be no escape—for either of them.
